Most cash buyers are flippers doing it with bank loans. They’re in a very vulnerable position right now. The smart ones will get out and stay out. Most are greedy.
- gruez 5y ago>They’re in a very vulnerable position right now. Why? aren't the rates locked in for the duration of the mortgage (25/30 years)? The only way I can think of this going wrong is doing your budgeting when the rate is 2.5% and then not taking the rising rates into account, but presumably the bank will cut them off first.
- wonnage 5y agoFlipping implies selling the homes at a profit, which is unlikely in a rising interest rate environment.
- grogenaut 5y agoFlippers either buy with cash, or they do all interest loans, and really factor in how long they take to flip the house. Interest rates or going long on a build can really dig into profits. You can't get a 25/30 year loan on a flip as it's not your primary residence, and you're limited on the number of those you can have per year.
